At Muth'S Garden.

The announcement that all could reach
this lovely garden by the Avenue T..
street car line and could enter at the
nominal sum Of % cents per capita,
drew tremendous thrOng there yester-
day afternoon to listen to the splendid
orchestral music by the full orchestra of
the Saengerfest, under the leadership of
Prof. Carl Beck. 1t seemed as though
our very best citizens and their ladies
we're determined 10 hear and see, for all
attended, and the large pavilion, with
the roomy garden attached, was filled to
repletioD, and many who could
not get seats in the pavilion
were fully content and glad to find,seais
in the garden, with the hot sun, the
wind and the sand beating upon them.
The strong western breeze that came up
at / o'clock, was, in fact, the only draw
back to the pleasure Of the day, but the
charm of the exquisite music made
many forget even this npleasantness.
One feature of the concert was the ex-
cellent trombone solo by Herr Braun,
of Chicago, given in lieu of the oOrnet
solo, down on the programme by Mr..
Bode. Probably that young gentleman
did not have enough time, for looking
and smiling at the ladies, to play. How
ever, he gave no tangible excuse for not
playing and the trombone solo was hap
PLY aud successfully substituted.
THE FAREWELL CONCERT.
The farewell concert of the Saenger-
fest was given in the opera house on
Sunday night, and though it was not so
well attended as the previous concerts,
it was none the less enthusiastic. The
performance was an attractive one, in.
Producing instrumental music, the main
features being violin concerto in ID,
"Erst SatZ" Allegro non tOppO, Mendel-
sohn, by Herr Theodore COurant, Pop
per's violincello solo, and Lumbye's Fan
tasis. '"Trsumbilder," with either &C
compartment by Mr.. ii. Bachmann, of
this city. All these were remarkably
well executed, the performers were APP
plauded and presented with beautiful
boquets. The stringed instrumen
played "V0lkmann's Serenade," OPP. GO
in +; allegro, moderate and motto.
vivace. Schumann's beautiful "Trau-
merCi," Taubert's "Liebeslied," all of
which were the source of great pleasure
to the audience. The fest orchestra
played the overtures from "Oberon,"
"Semiramie's," William Tell" and
"Tsnnhauser," and repeated by desire
Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapshody,"
securing great applause. 1t raised quite
furore by the artistic way in which the
Turkish Pstrol' was played, and the
beauty of its distance effecre." Carl
Beck was presented with a handsome
bouquet and was loudly called for at the
close OF the concert, bat he failed to re-
spOnd.
Thus ended the Sixteenth Saenger-
fest, which has in every way been an
unprecedented musical and financial
success.

Suing for Clemency.

Cry OF MEXICO. May lS.-Minister
Manning presented President Diaz with
a request from the American government
for the remission of the death sentence of
the three Mexican officers condemned by
court martial to be shot for violation of
American territory land judicial jurisdic-
ton at Nogsles. AS the American gov
m was the party injured, there ex.
lists no doubt that its interposition for
clemency will save the lives OF the prison.
ers. The action of Secretary Bayard is
highly appreciated here, and regarded as
an exhibition OF the generous sentiment
towards Mexico in government circles.
Among leading politicians, Judge Man
ning's handling of the case is commended
as having probably prevented serious
complications. The ministers conduct in
the matter has been characterized by
moderation and a desire to avoid exciting
bad feeling. 1t is thought that President
Diaz will undoubtedly be influenced by
the representations of the American
minister, although it is known that he
felt a stern example should be made in
the case of these officers.
